to bride the Aldermen. 1t must not
be forgotten that Sharp has been en-
gagged for fifty years past in trathcIng
in franchises and corruptlng pubic
officials He is no ordinary sinner and
were he at liberty to-day it is reason
able to conclude that he would simply
repeat the operations which have gained
him wealth and infamy in the past.
That both Sharp and the Aldermen
are guilty Of the crimes of which they
have been convicted will be warning
which will be needed for a time at
least. If such men were permitted to

50 common that only men willing to
become criminals could obtain con
cessiors from officials and legislative

LATE, BUT OPPORTUNE.

This is a day of sharp competition
in every department of business lie,
and the town that expects to grow, or
even to hold its own without putting
forth every effort looking to this end
will reap disappointment as sure as the
night follows the day. That town
whose people are kecnly alive to its
best interests, and spare no effort to
further those interests, will grow and
flourish, while that town whose people
appear Indifferent, will retrograde.
The way to get trade and build up
a town is to reach out after it. Look
to the interests of home always. Start
enterprises that will keep the money at
home to circulate among home PEG
people. Why should not Henderson
reap the profits of enterprises that now
go to build up other towns?
We have a beautiful town, delight
fully situated, and our advantages and
attractions should be made known.
Our merchants should offer every in
ducement to increase the trade of the
town, and those inducements should
be advertised in liberal way.
Home industries should be patron
lied first. 1t is suicidal policy to send
off for anything that can be had at
home. All the home industries and
professions should be sustained by
home patronage, and other enterprises
put on foot. If we wish our town to
grow and prosper, we must show to
the world our attractions, and do
everything possible to further our in
terests. Our business men especially
should be wide-awake concerning
these things.

The celebrated trial Of Jacob Sharp
is ended at last, and the defendant is
convicted. A half dozen Of the sharp
est lawyes in New York could not pre-
vent verdict of guilty. The twelve
iurymen, who were selected with SO
much trouble, required less than fifteen
minutes to make up their minds re-
specting the guilt or innocence of the
accused. The time occupied in Sc
curing jury was not wasted.
No other conclusion could possibly
have been reached, in the face of the
evidence adduced at the trial. The
delivery of any other verdict would
have subjected the jury to the suspicion
of improper influences. The fact
is, there was practically no defense.
Some exceptions were taken during
the trial, and the usual effort will, of
course, be made to secure a new trial.
The States attorney proceeded care
fully, however, and 1t is doubtful if
they made any serious mistakes. The
penitentiary will receive Jacob Sharp,
unless death claims him before he can
be placed within its walls. Jacob
Sharp is an old man, seventy years of
age, and-on the report OF his physi-
clans-cannot be expected to live long.
But, while a knowledge of such facts
may induce the court to, pass a light
sentence, so far as term of imprison-
uent is concerned, the fact cannot be
overlooked that Sharp is a criminal,
who is in no way entitled to be dealt
with otherwise than a Criminal-to be
subjected to prison rules and prison
discipline. He IS entitled to no more
consideration than would be bestowed
on any other offender by reason of
age or inhrmities. He has sowp the
seed ; he must reap the crop.
The press is largely entitled to the
credit, not only for the prosecution of
the Doodle Aldermen, but also that of
Jacob Sharp, vino furnished the Doodle
